Evolve IP Makes Tasty Baking’s Headquarters Move a Piece of Cake

WAYNE, Pa. - Communication at one of the country’s leading bakers of snack cakes, pies, cookies, and donuts continued without disruption this spring when it moved to a new corporate headquarters. That’s because Tasty Baking Company (Nasdaq:TSTY) chose to outsource the hosting and management of its voice and data networks to leading Communications as a Service (CaaS) provider, Evolve IP.

In union with its move to a new business, production, warehouse, and distribution center in South Philadelphia, Tasty Baking was looking for a comprehensive solution to unify and simplify the technologies its employees use to communicate, and ensure a seamless transition to the new space. After considering the traditional multivendor premise and hosted solutions, the company chose Managed Telephony, Hosted Applications, Managed Networks, and Network Security from Evolve IP, and the partnership was a success. During the move, completed in April of 2009, Evolve IP made certain Tasty Baking’s communications with employees, customers, and suppliers didn’t skip a beat.

“Our move to the Navy Yard went very smoothly, and Evolve IP was a critical component of that success. The team handled everything we needed during the move with skill, determination, and poise,” says Brendan O’Malley, Chief Information Officer of Tasty Baking Company. “The combination of technical knowledge and relentless customer service at Evolve IP is hard to find, but it helped ensure connectivity for our employees, and eliminate any concern over the status and transfer of our voice and data networks. I don’t think the move would have been as successful or smooth without Evolve IP.”

Evolve IP’s managed technology services can function as a complete outsourced solution, or be tailored to enhance existing communications systems—giving customers the chance to replace multiple vendors with a single provider. For Tasty Baking, Evolve IP helped move the company’s critical communication technologies to a hosted environment, cutting down on the operational and energy costs associated with on-premise solutions. With hosted services, Tasty Baking is also able to benefit ongoing from Evolve IP’s network security, reliability, and 24x7 professional management.

“Evolve IP’s managed technology services take the weight off companies’ shoulders when it comes to their communications infrastructure by switching them from premise-based to hosted communication technology,” says Guy Fardone, Chief Operating Officer and General Manager of Evolve IP. “For Tasty Baking and over 200 other customers across the region, we are offering a compelling opportunity to reduce capital expenditure, improve productivity and mobility, and turn their IT cost center into a profit center.”
